The number of manufacturing companies that demand the ability to assess sustainability in their manufacturing system is rapidly increasing. However, there are still difficulties in assessing their sustainability in manufacturing for decision-making since it is not easy to determine a single index of sustainability in an operational way. To address these difficulties, this paper proposes an operational guidance and system to assess sustainability of production plan as a single index. The IDEF0 model was defined to explain processes and their input, output, control, and mechanism for sustainability assessment. A prototype system was developed based on the concepts presented in the IDEF0 model, and applied to a case study. To conclude, the prototype system proposed in this paper can help manufacturing companies assess sustainability of their production plans and make a decision using a single value resulted from that assessment.

Objectives: This study was designed to examine the effect of risk assessment on employee safety behavior in manufacturing workplaces. In addition, this study attempted to explore factors related to the occupational safety and health system in the workplace affect the risk assessment of manufacturing sites. Methods: This research is a cross-sectional study using the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency's 2018 Occupational Safety and Health data. The sample for study is 1,967 manufacturing workplaces. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, chi-square test, and hierarchical multiple regression analysis using SPSS (ver.25.0). Results: As a result of the multiple hierarchical regression analysis, it was found that risk assessment had an effect on employee safety behavior (t=4.435, p=<.001). Furthermore, the size of the workplace affected employee safety behavior (t=2.494, p=<.001). In addition, the presence of safety and health management organizations affected employee safety behavior (t=4.301, p=<.001). The factors of the safety and health organization (𝑥²=35.245, p=<.001), the occupational safety and health committee (𝑥²=149.440, p=<.001), and the supervisor (𝑥²=16.472, p=<.001) were identified as factors that increased the possibility of risk assessment in the manufacturing workplaces. Conclusions: In this study, it was found that risk assessment is a factor that increases the level of workers' safety behavior in manufacturing workplaces. Therefore, it is necessary to provide institutional support for activating risk assessment at manufacturing workplaces.

Design of manufacturing process, in general, facilitates the creation of new process that may potentially harm the workers. Design of safety-guaranteed manufacturing process is, therefore, very important since it determines the ultimate outcomes of manufacturing activities involving safety of workers. This study discusses application of discrimination information (cross entropy) to safety assessment of manufacturing processes. The idea is based on the general principles of design and their applications. An example of Cartesian robotic movement is given.

스마트공장 등으로 변화하는 경쟁 환경 속에서 제조시스템의 현 수준을 측정하고 개선 목표와 과제를 도출, 추진하여 제조경쟁력의 수준을 높이는 것이 기업의 기본적 활동이 되고 있다. 그러나 기업의 미래 제조경쟁력을 갖추기 위한 구성요소 분석과 성숙도평가에 관한 연구는 부분적으로 진행되고 있고 초기단계에 있다. 본 연구는 제조시스템에 대한 다양한 관점의 모델, 개발프로세스, 프레임워크 등에 대한 기존 연구를 분석하였다. 또한 스마트공장 관련 성숙도평가 연구들을 통해 미래 제조시스템의 구성요소들을 도출하여 구조모델을 설계하였다. 평가모델, 변환모델까지 포함하는 메타모델을 설계하고 프레임워크 개발 프로세스를 도출하여 미래 제조시스템의 성숙도평가를 위한 통합적 프레임워크를 제안하였다. 또한 실제 스마트공장 평가에 적용하여 검증하였다. 제시된 프레임워크는 미래 제조시스템의 성숙도평가를 위한 기반 도구로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

제조성숙도평가(Manufacturing Readiness Assessment, MRA)는 제조 준비상태를 평가하는 방법으로 체계, 부체계의 개발 및 양산에서 발생할 수 있는 일정지연, 비용 상승, 품질 저하 등을 방지하지 위해서 2012년에 제도화되었다. 제조성숙도 평가는 군수품의 양산단계의 제조상 위험성을 사전에 식별하여 관리한 결과, 군수품의 품질수준이 개선되는 등 긍정적인 효과가 있었으나 실제 수행 시 피평가자가 평가항목에 대해 맞춤형으로 준비를 하면서 평가점수가 점차적으로 높아지는 등 준비상태 점검이라는 본래의 목적과는 달리 점수만 상승하는 평가점수 인플레 현상이 심화되는 문제점이 식별되었다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 극복하고 과거 업체의 MRA 평가항목 이력을 반영하기 위해 HOM8, 평가항목 난이도를 반영하기 위한 DOM8, 평가항목의 중요도 및 사업별 특성을 고려한 ICOM8과 M8RA를 각각 정의하여 네가지 지표 가중치를 적용한 MWV(Manufacturing Readiness Level 8 Weighted Value)을 정의한 정량적인 MRA 평가모델을 제안한다. 제안된 모델을 통해 기존에 실시된 4개 사업에 대한 평가항목 간 MWV를 계산하였으며, 이를 통해 제안된 MRL 8 평가 방법론의 개선결과를 분석하였다.

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have attracted much interest for their high energy density (>150 mAh/g), high capacity, low self-discharge rate, and high coulombic efficiency. However, with the successful commercialization of LIBs, fire and explosion incidents are likely to increase. The thermal runaway is known as the major factor in battery-related accidents that can lead to a series of critical conditions. Considering this, recent studies have shown an increased interest in countering the safety issues associated with LIBs. Although safety standards for LIB use have recently been formulated, little attention has been paid to the safety around the manufacturing process for battery products. The present study introduces a risk assessment method suitable for assessing the safety of the LIB-manufacturing process. In the assessment method, a compensation parameter (Z-factor) is employed to correctly evaluate the process's safety on the basis of the type of material (e.g., metal anode, liquid electrolyte, solid-state electrolytes) utilized in a cell. The proposed method has been applied to an 18650 cell-manufacturing process, and three sub-processes have been identified as possibly vulnerable parts (risk index: >4). This study offers some crucial insights into the establishment of safety standards for battery-manufacturing processes.

Purpose: Technology readiness assessment(TRA) used as a standard readiness assessment tool in the acquisition program of weapon system has some limitations in the comprehensive understanding of the complex system. Therefore, this research is intended to suggest a holistic maturity assessment method for the acquisition of high quality weapon system. Methods: Technology readiness level(TRL), manufacturing readiness level(MRL), integration readiness level(IRL) and system readiness level(SRL) developed to assess system maturities in the various aspects are compared and analyzed to draw an improvement avenue for the current readiness assessment method. Results: TRL, MRL, IRL and SRL have large differences in their maturity targets during the acquisition life cycle: technological performance, manufacturing capability, interface between components and total system, respectively. They complement one another's shortcomings Conclusion: To achieve a successful acquisition of high quality weapon system, multi-dimensional readiness assessment is required. Therefore, comprehensive readiness assessment using TRL, MRL, IRL and SRL will contribute to the acquisition of high quality weapon system through the accurate maturity information of overall system.

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) aims to analyze possible impact upon manufacturing process and availability of products, and also study the environmental considerations and potential influence during entire life cycle ranging from procurement, production and utilization to treatment (namely, from cradle to tomb). Based on high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe manufacturing of company A, this case study would involve evaluation of environmental influence during the production process. When the manufacturing process has been improved during "production process" and "forming cooling" stage, it is found that capital input on "electric power" and "water supply" could be reduced, thus helping to sharpen the competitive power of company A, and also ensure sustainable economic and industrial development in accordance with national policies on environmental protection.

This paper is an investigation of comparative and contrasting characteristics of service in manufacturing sector - especially quality aspects. A review of both service and manufacturing industries' systems literature revealed conflicting views on defining two different industries and its system assessment. While some researchers have documented the value of service IS implementations on both industries, there are others who feel that such implementations are not appropriate for all situations or all organizations. Because of IS implementations and IT improvement, defining service and manufacturing is blur than ever. There is a dearth of literature on the assessment of service systems in service and manufacturing industries due to blurred and controversial argument.
